good morning and welcome to news 4 midday, i'm keith russell. >> i'm barbara harrison. i's tuesday october 9, 2012. a judge sentenced jerry sandusky to 30 and no more than 60 years prison. the 68-year-old will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars. the former penn state assistant football coach was convicted in june of sexually abusing ten boys.

he denied the allegations, talked about his life in prison and the pain of being away from his family. the judge called the case a story of betrayal and sandusky continues to assault their psyche's and souls. one of the victims said you should be ashamed of yourself going on to say i don't forgive you and i don't know if i ever will. here is what one of his lawyers said moments ago. >> we are pleased with the sentence. it's less than we thought it could have been. >> the judge could have given him 100 years to 200 years. the judge was sending a message that what was done required retribution and balanced out the good he's done. >> he maintains his innocence. yesterday, he read another statement on penn state radio. sandusky accused the judge of

bringing the trial to court too quickly and the lawyers trying to make money in future civil suits. >> they could make me out as a monster and treat me as a monster, but they can't take away my heart. i know i did not do these alleged rksz disgusting acts. >> sandusky plans to file an appeal within ten days. >> amtrak canceled trains and delayed others because of downed power lines. amtrak completely suspended service between d.c. and delaware. megan mcgrath is live at union station with the latest. hey, megan. >> reporter: good morning, keith. we have seen improvement in the situation, that's the good news. crews have been able to open up one of the northbound tracks and trains are running and running up to speed on that track. the second track in the northbound direction, still working on it. it's still closed. we are seeing a mixed bag. some trains headed north to new

with partly cloudy skies. more sun coming your way. as far as showers, most of them off to the east. one shower left hanging around 495 north of clinton. so, little bit of spotty moisture again in the form of a little bit of drizzle left there around the area. future cast, i'll take you through the next couple hours, where we are going to be tomorrow morning. partly cloudy sky. in the afternoon, breaks of sunshine. there is another front that's coming up that will be moving through. the front will move through late tomorrow. ahead of the front, a southerly winld. ahead of the front, we'll see the highest temperatures getting into the upper 60s to around 70. then, the front moves through. we may get back into sunshine at the end of the week. behind the front, it's back to highs in the low and mid-60s for thursday and possibly friday. for the afternoon, again a little bit of sun coming our way. feeling like november. 57 to 60 degrees is the high

thanks a lot. we have a check on the midday traffic with danella. >> what's going on? >> problems northbound 95 because of the earlier tractor trailer accident. if you are heading northbound, you are blocked at exit 89 to 93. you have to jump on route 40, jump on that instead and expect delays. you can see the travel lanes are blocked. bridge work, if you are crossing over the 14th street bridge, bridgework blocking the right lanes in this area. stick to the left and you make your way to the district just fine. back to you. >> okay. thanks. it's 19 minutes after 11:00. still ahead, the dos and don'ts while preparing for a big race. plus, why you should read beauty product labels and why you should question what they say. >> first, here is a look at what's hot on www.nbcwashington.com. let me tell you how i will create 12 million jobs

when president obama couldn't. first, my energy independence policy means more than three million new jobs. many of them in manufacturing. my tax reform plan to lower rates for the middle class and for small business creates seven million more. and expanding trade, cracking down on china, and improving job training takes us to over 12 million new jobs. i'm mitt romney, and i approve this message.

october is a big month for runners in the area. thousands will participate in the army ten miler, the marine corps run and others this month. we have a look at mistakes to avoid on race day. you say there are quite a few, huh? >> there are a few that can make your race fun and safe if you listen. one of the most common mistakes you can make is wearing something new. wearing something new puts you in a position where you are not familiar with the material you are wearing. they wear the t-shirts given out. wear something you are comfortable with. eating too much or too little. don't affect your race day fuel. showing up late, being unfamiliar with the course.

ignoring the pains can lead to a serious injury if you are not careful. >> i want to talk about eating too much or too little. how do you know? >> the best time to determine that is during your training especially on your big runs. eat something easily digestible, something you are familiar with. you can gauge what your body needs for the race day. >> keith was saying most runners like to eat pasta, a huge plate of it. is that a good idea? >> the day before. not necessarily a few hours before the race. the day before to load up on the carbohydrates you need. >> not before the race. >> probably three hours before the race is better for you to last. >> ignoring the pains, don't do that. >> don't do that. there's a difference between a stitch in your side and running on a twisted ankle. if you experience pain, significant pain or pain you haven't felt before, try walking

for awhile. if that subsides it, great, if not, consider sitting out. you can bench yourself from running if it's a serious injury. >> let's talk ability the things you brought with you today. what do you recommend wearing for race day. >> i recommend not to overdress. your body is going to heat up as you increase your heart rate. wear something that is going to wick the sweat, the moisture off your body. consider a sweat wicking shorts and tops. consider compression shorts that preventings chafing of the skin yet wick away the moisture. >> there are some fabrics better than others. what is this? >> a recycled polyester. some call it dry fit. a lot of athletes are wearing it to keep the sweat off their bodies so they are not weighted down. >> what are those? >> these are similar, they do not have the compression under

it. you can create chafing with these type of shorts. this shirt here, it's got a long sleeve to it to keep your arms warm. you can roll them up or consider warming sleeves that a lot of runners are starting to wear. you can tear them off. >> tear them off and leave them behind as they run. >> yep. gloves are helpful, too, if your hands are cold. >> so, mental strategies? any mental strategies you suggest? >> understanding the route. the day before the race, experience the route. understand where the flat sections are, the turns are, the mile markers so you can understand how far you have to go and conserve your energy. >> doctor, a lot of folks are going to be running with these shoes. thanks for being here. >> absolutely. coming up, the next half hour of news 4 midday, the top

causes of house fires. skies are slowly clearing. veronica johnson is back with when we could see more seasonable temperatures. all eyes to the sky this morning as daredevil attempts something no one else has

detectors, make sure you have them and they have batteries. take a look behind me, barbara and keith, you can see a mattress they were using for a demonstration. take a look at the video we shot earlier. it is only a demonstration in a controlled environment. the flames are a har ch reminder of how often this plays out in homes. cooking equipment and kitchen fires are the number one cause. here at the consumer product commission in montgomery county, they show how quickly a simple flame can get out of control. your heating and cooling equipment is the next likely culprit including space heaters that kill 100 people a year. fire retardant curtains. i was impressed with how well they worked. no fire to report. overall six people die every day in house fires. a statistic that can be lowered.

>> there are too many fires in the united states. too many fires. they happen every minute every day. as chief mitchell said, six people die every couple minutes here in this united states from a fire. that's a tragedy. >> reporter: barbara and keith, we said at the top of the broadcast here and we are going to say it again, the number one thing, smoke detectors. make sure you have them and the batteries work. have them in every room of your home. it's the most important thing you can do. that is the key to survival. tonetone, news 4. >> thank you so much. another death is linked to the meningitis outbreak. the center for disease control says at least 105 people got sick from the rare fungal infection. two deaths in maryland and virginia. the outbreak has health officials saying it's linked to

the melee. the last story is not funny, but mars curiosity rover has a sense of humor. it sent back a photo showing it's surveying an item in the sand. the rover is testing the item to figure out what it is. they believe it's a piece of plastic that fell off the rover. >> despite one of the engines faltering, the x-dragon is expected to return tomorrow. one of the nine engines lost pressure shortly after take off. the flight computers made adjustments to allow the craft to make it to the space station. it was carrying 1,000 pounds of supplies. how incredible is this? it could have lost two engines and still made it. >> we are going to check in with

veronica johnson. she's got her coat on. it's getting chilly. >> she looks like she's ready for the space station. >> i'm ready for the chill, that's for sure. this morning, temperatures are better than yesterday at the same time. still, cloudy skies around the area. a little bit of clearing. no major clearing today. i wanted to show you a look outside and we are going to switch over to what's going on at 9:00 a.m. snow shoe mountain resort, those are big flakes of snow there. it gave the area a light coating at 9:00 a.m. they are scheduled to open saturday december 8. they will open earlier if conditions permit. we'll see. our temperatures running in the 50s. 56. montgomery village, 54. poolsville coming in at 54 degrees. arlington at 53. there's a look at the radar. you can see the showers east. we have just a few sprinkles

leftover right inside prince george's county. really, the rain over. the damp conditions we are trying to get them out of here. i'm hoping for a little bit of sun today. there's a snapshot of early tomorrow morning. despite the clouds, tomorrow is looking like one of the best days out of the workweek. we'll look at your afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. barbara, in a supple minutes. >> thank you. we want to check on the midday traffic. danella, what is it looking like? >> problems on i-95 northbound. all the northbound lanes are blocked at exit 89 due to an earlier tractor trailer accident. it's closed between 89 and 93. be aware of that as you make your commute. use route 40 as an alternate route. here is a look at the bridge work blocking the right lane. stick to the left to get by. keith, over to you. >> hiv and aids is a serious issue for the district.

one in 20 adults is hiv positive. as many as half don't know it. the aids walk washington will take place with more information. we are joined by chip lewis. good morning, chip. let's start by, this is such a serious dilemma in this area. >> it absolutely is. it's one that gets forgotten from time to time. in d.c., one in 20 adults is infected with hiv. half of those don't know that. they are not in treatment. that means not only is their health in danger, but they are running the risk of infecting other people without knowing it. in 2010, 200 aids deaths. today's world, with treatment and prevention techniques, there's no reason for that. it's still a crisis here in the city. >> i read if washington was a country, in terms of aids rate, it would rank near the top half

of countries in africa. are people here aware of how big an epidemic it is? >> that's a good question. we talk about it every chance we get about the rate of hiv here in d.c. i think some of the crisis we had in the '80s and '90s is a loss. treatments are so good now, if you get into care and stay on treatment, you'll die with hiv, not from hiv. the advances and treatment has taken the crisis mentality out of it. people are come placement. we deal with a lot of stigma with it. >> you say stigma. you mention that word. let's talk about it. it's a big barrier. what is the stigma? >> more than three decades into the epidemic. their families make them use paper plates and plastic utensils. we had people asking can i get

it from a mosquito bite or public pool? there's a lot of ignorance and stigma around it. if you are afraid your family is going to react badly if you are diagnosed with hiv, if you don't want them to see your pill bottles, you are less likely to get tested and stay in treatment. >> how big is the fear? when i talk to my friends, you know, a lot of my friends don't want to get tested because they don't want to find out if that answer is positive, what do i do next? a lot of people don't know what to do next. how do you encourage people to get over that fear? >> we offer free hiv testing throughout the week. we encourage people to come in and get tested. it's a scary prospect. this is the diagnosis that is going to change your life. get tested early. get into care. it's not a diagnosis that will end your life. if you get into care, stay on treatment, stay with it, you can

live a normal life span. we encourage people to come in and know. >> whitman walker health raises funds for washington. what are the services you provide? >> free hiv testing, primary medical care, dental care, mental health services, legal help. there's a wide range of services including innovative programs. they see their entire care team on their first visit. the unit that works with patients to make sure they stick to the treatment. >> how can people be part of the walk? >> register now. we are two weeks out. we need everybody to sign up and raise money to help out with the services. >> last, chip, how do you encourage people to embrace when they get that positive news? no doubt, some people are going to get the negative diagnosis and a lot of people are going to

get the positive. >> certainly. we have a group of trained counselors, staff and volunteers trained to give positive results. they will work with someone saying this is not the end of the world. we'll get right into care immediately, meeting doctors, counselors, whatever they need to make the diagnosis. not the end of their life. >> we have a team from nbc 4 taking part in the walk. i plan to be there as well. it's a problem we have to get on top of. slowly, but surely, we can solve it. >> absolutely. >> thank you for stopping by on a serious subject. >> the time is 11:41. a new facebook option. plus, cracking the code. we'll help you read

you can have your hands on an ipad mini in less than a month. apple orders 10 million units and will release the device on november 2nd. speculation is a new tablet will be 7 inches compared to the larger nine inch. apple dominates the tablet market. online shopping could be as easy as logging on to facebook. the social network giant is testing collections. it allows users to finds items

they want and click on a special want button. people can see the wanted items and go to those stores to buy them. facebook is working with retailers on this including pottery barn and victoria's secret. global economic growth is sending stocks lower. we are going check in with cnbc for that and the rest of the day's business headlines. good morning. >> hello. we started with stocks trading in a narrow range. they have gone negative after a gloomy forecast about the european economy. the dough is down 95 points. the s&p is down 11. the international monetary fund says the global economy is weakening in a report released overnight, they lowered from 3.5% to 3.3% this year and lowering the target for 2013. this is after the world bank cut

their growth estimate for china, the second largest economy. 50,000 demonstrators took to the streets. greece covered much of the ground needed for recovery. she stressed the greek government neats to push through more cost cutting reforms. general motors is hiring more workers. they want to develop their own software and gadgets for their cars instead of buying them from outside sources. the first two in texas and you guessed it, michigan. stocks on the move. edwards life science is dropping 18% after reporting sales of hard valves weaker than expected. yum brands which owns pizza hut, taco bell and kfc is returning to rapid growth i. was enough to send the stock up to just under

$68 per share. barbara, back to you. >> thank you, hampton. beauty products and cosmetics are one of the least regulated consumer products -- doctor, there's a lot of information on labels of everything from shampoo to lotion. you brought us an example of a shampoo label. let's take a look. >> right. >> tell us what we should be looking for. >> well, this is fairly new in that not all products have this labeling. what we really want to see is if there's an active ingredient, what is the active ingredient. >> we should be looking here as we look at the monitor. >> looking at the use. are we using it for the intended use? sometimes when people say the product doesn't work it's because they are not using it for the intended use. drug facts, know exactly what

the active ingredients are, the warning and other information it provides for us. the inactive ingredients, the preservatives, any of the softeners or other items, ingredients in a product and -- >> the result that we want? >> well, say for instance you are allergic to lanolin and if you look at certain warnings, it may tell you those with hypersensitivity to lanolin or hypersensitivity to something else should not use these items. that is probably the first category you should read to make sure you are going to be able to use the product. regardless if it works or not, you won't be able to use it. >> when it comes to those ingredients being listed, is

there a reason why they are listed in a certain order and should we think about why it's listed in that order? >> it actually started as a college student did a thesis on why it was so difficult for her grandmother to know her medications and she was trying to help her grandmother to organize them. she did this as a thesis paper. it's something the fda adopted. she's probably rich somewhere living on an island. it's a great idea. now, there's a systematic way of how everything is really graded. it's all set up the same way. so, you have your indication and why you are using the product. then you have the active ingredient, then the list of all the other ingredients in there. >> so, people say throw products away after the expiration date. if i'm sitting home with shampoo and it's the last i have, and i can't get to the store, i'm not

throwing it away. am i wrong for keeping that little bit of shampoo? >> the reason why we have the expiration date is because just like the story we have on the meningitis, the fungal meningitis. organizisms do grow in preparations regardless of how much preservative or antibacterial, antifungal eights are in it. that's the safety part of it. if you use it the date after it expired, it's not going kill you. >> two years afterward, there might be a problem? >> is the active ingredient active? >> that may be the issue. the active ingredient is no longer helping you. you are wasting your time anyway. the expiration date, i prefer when the expiration date is embossed on the end of the two versus printed. like this shampoo, it's printed. once you have this in the shower

and get it wet a number of times, you are not going to see that expiration date. >> dermatologist tested, all natural, botanical, cruelty free, can we trust these phrases? >> not really. they are cosmetic phrases. there are physicians who work for johnson & johnson and procter & gamble. because they worked on that product, they can say a dermatologist looked at it. they may get a group of dermatologists to say it looks good or smells good or it will do what it's supposed to do. that's what they mean by dermatology tested. it does not specifically mean that a dermatologist has endorsed it. it just means that it's been looked at, possibly in a focus group. >> doctor, at some point in the future, i would like you to test this. this is by d.o. to keep me fresh, my spider lotion and hand

sanitizer. this is not a cigar, it's a nice cologne. >> a birdie told me you like it because of the scent. it's not how you choose products. >> if you want to know more, go to ctrfordermatology. >> the time is 11:52. coming up, we'll hear from the replacement ref responsible for the seasons most controversial call. don't tell me it's the guy who
